Seems like an awfully oblique way to get at the data when you could just do a comparison of returns from alternative investments and listed equities and bonds during any given time period? Not to mention is assumes that the only difference between pension funds and endowments is there percentage...

I think your underlying thinking is sound. Vaccines never make much for the company making them, and especially now the pressure on the companies that make them to keep them affordable will be extreme to the point that countries including the U.S. could just nationalize/use some kind of defense...

Some ETFs, especially common in commodity ETFs, issue K-1s which can bite you especially if you're holding them in a retirement account with limits on those types of profits. Read the prospectus for anything you invest in, for this and so many other important things.

So many people in the gunning for that title in the last 2 weeks!

If it "get bought" then by definition you would no longer own shares in it, and therefore if it came back or not would be irrelevant to you. But why would anyone buy something that has a huge negative enterprise value, as CHK does at the moment, and is almost certainly going to default on its...

I can only assume that he was making some failed attempt at satire ("In fact I purchased this stock before they announced the IPO as I had been reading about wework for some time now in my local community centers newsletter"). Either that or he's in the race for the stupidest person on ET, with...

Maybe, just maybe, "the narrative is the market has lost billions or trillions and something new and catastrophic is occurring." because in fact something new and catastrophic is occurring! The real impact of massive stay at home orders (or the alternative of massive numbers of...

First rule of holes...when you find yourself in one stop digging:)

The last month aside, inflation adjusted returns on savings accounts and CDs have been remarkably stable for almost a century. Sure the old timers will fondly tell you about the good old days when they got 10% interest on their bank account, they just forget to remember that there was 9%...

This is the same guy who posted earlier: A real fount of wisdom this one is!

Seriously, you still going to own this statement?

When you can certify that you've never purchased something made in China when a US made alternative exists you can sit on you self righteous high horse and, while still being wrong, at least not be a hypocrite. Until then, how about a nice talk glass of STFU!

You're completely right that the vicious circle has to be stopped. I'm not sure that the Defense Production Act (The War Powers Act is a completely different law ironically limiting the President's power) or any increase in production for that matter, is necessarily the answer. The Defense...

Settle down there Beavis. First off, it's possible to think that the pandemic is a serious and unprecedented thing and simultaneously believe that there is no need to panic buy guns. Second, there is no "supermajority' of people panic buying guns anywhere at the moment, that's absurd. I live in...

Gun sales skyrocketed when Obama was elected and for the next 8 years. In my experience, the folks who panic buy guns (as opposed to the vast majority of gun buyers who buy them as a tool or a hobby) are among the least rational among us. If anything that would be a contrarian positive sign.

I don't know, they waste money on a lot of stupid shit in Japan as well. I mean how much do they spend on Hello Kitty alone every year:D

That works spectacularly well in the places it's been tried like Somalia, definitely worth a try! Fuck all those old people, just let them starve without SS and die without Medicare; who needs COVID. And screw environmental regulations, if you can dump in in the water or air feel free...the...

As I posted in another thread, there are fewer than 160,000 jobs in oil and gas extraction in the entire United States (https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES1021100001?amp%3bdata_tool=XGtable&output_view=data&include_graphs=true) So no way that the Central Valley has 600,000 oil and gas jobs...

We call this concept "renting". It's what normal people do when they're in your situation, rather than this convoluted thing you're proposing.

First off the part of the story you're not telling us. The part about what taxes you're trying to avoid paying or restrictions you're trying to get around that would lead you to this roundabout and inconvenient route that no-one without something to hide or try to get around would or does go...
